Present-day overseas otaku culture and society that could affect the popularity of .moe domain

Even in the year 2014, the trend of moe still continues on without much trouble in the anime industry. However, the same thing could not be said for otaku culture and society of the overseas, especially Western otaku culture. In the last 5 years, the moe trend were still widely accepted among the otaku, but nowadays, the acceptance is quietly decreasing. One of the most popular or successful anime series don't have any aspect that could be associated with moe. Here are the two reasons I could think of that would affect the ultimate popularity of the .moe domain.

1. The most popular or successful anime series in 2013

Is it moe? Just forget it, it definitely isn't.
You would already recall Attack on Titan anime series which had swept deep into the majority of the otaku society. The anime is really, really exciting to watch, it is such a popular and successful anime in the large epic scale. But AoT does not intend to have any aspect of moe at all. Yes, it is totally true that the anime series can forgoes cuteness and still proves to be able to become popular or successful.

Who would be having the upcoming .moe domain?

Just from the gTLD name alone, which is .moe, you can already tell that this domain is definitely aimed to put together websites that will have anything related to anime or otherwise cute Japanese culture and stuff. But, who would likely be the people who wanted to have their new .moe domain up and running the most? Let my imagination and theory run just beyond this passage! Don't forget to read the gTLD Periods page to know how each phase is. I don't think anyone has explored this yet, so let's move on!

Phase 1 | During the Sunrise Period

During this period, it is most likely that the companies, especially Japanese animation studios, would be the one who would be quick to get their new official website with .moe domain name registered and have their trademarks secured. The chance of registering under .moe domain could be much higher if the animation studio are specialized in providing cute and lighthearted moe anime series to the industry.
